Very few know the old methods. Few were trained, and deep learning started working just 5 years after classics got good and easy enough that a few people could use it for a product. So there was never the needed wave of non deep learning based computer vision students, they all went to deep learning. Many of the libraries are not well maintained. I needed a basic homography estimation recently and asked a minion to try opencv for it before anything more advanced. He got it working, but the best inlier ratio for every feature he tried with default parameters was 3%. The images were offset by 30 pixels left right, and less than a pixel in warp and taken with different exposure time. So he used sift... He argued he got it working and that was as good as keypoint matching got... If I hadnt happened to be the guy who needed it one step up, it could have just propagated, someone adding a shitty ekf to make it smooth, then buried in layers of heuristics and api. |
